Enhanced Services Launches New Web Ad Unit [December 31, 1998] Enhanced Services Company Inc. and its subsidiary, ad network and rep firm Zulu-tek Inc. said they have formed a new Web advertising unit to support ad revenue growth and expansion of its e- commerce business with the recent acquisition of BrandsForLess.com. The new unit will be called Group Omni-net.com. "With the formation of Group Omni-net.com, we are now positioned to become a dominant Web advertising and e-commerce force," said Rob Chmiel, chief operating officer of Enhanced. "We have made a significant commitment by increasing our online ad budget to $25 million for 1999 to facilitate greater market penetration for BrandsForLess.com and our other e-commerce ventures. The immediate impact of the recent ad campaign has clearly demonstrated the positive synergy created with the Enhanced-BrandsForLess combination." Chmiel added that a CEO for Omni-net is being sought and the new Web site for Omni-net is expected to go live in January. BrandsForLess.com is an e-commerce mall that allows shoppers to find, select and purchase products across multiple categories. The operation currently offers more than 1,500 brands and over 500,000 products. Enhanced said it already has rolled out an initial online ad campaign for BrandsForLess.com on DejaNews.com, CNN.com, WarnerBros., SportsLine, Webcrawler, Excite, Geocities and the Zulu network, and has experienced substantial increases in traffic as a result.

EchoMedia Offers Solution for TV-Quality Interstitial Commercials [September 24] Newport, RI-based interactive ad services company echoMedia reports it has delivered a new technology called Sesame-Ad that allows advertisers to run interstitial, television-quality commercials on the Web with all of the live-action, animation, drama and sound associated with regular TV commercials. Sesame-Ad handles the scheduling automatically and also captures detailed end-user demographics and advertising impressions on a "real-time" basis, generating a customized online report for the advertiser, the company said. Pricing was not disclosed. "Sesame-Ad handles automatically the pre-determined scheduling of the advertiser's commercials so they reach the Web users of primary interest--the millions of potential customers identified as prime targets for the advertised product or service," said Thomas J. Burgess, co-founder and chief executive officer of echoMedia. "Sesame-Ad activates the advertiser's commercial when a Web user initiates the download of a graphic field or document, and the commercial appears on the user's screen without any noticeable interference with the download." The company said the technology is already in use by clients such as MapQuest, the Christian Science Monitor and TravelFacts. Advertisers include Honda, BMW, and Sandals Resorts. The Sesame-Ad technology is capable of converting an advertiser's television creative into a Web-capable software file regardless of the creative or graphic tool used by the advertiser's agency to produce the commercial, the company said. Commercials also may run virtually any size, from full screen to half-screen or quarter-screen or smaller, and any length, from a branding ad with a fixed run time to a longer interactive spot. And to avoid the annoying problem of "advertising overload," the advertiser can determine how frequently a Web commercial is allowed to appear on a user's screen (e.g., every fifth page view, or third key word search). EchoMedia is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Netmaster Group Inc. [NOTE: Netmaster Group changed its name to Zulu-tek in December of 1997]
